Some questions:
In the map view, do you see the orange warning message? Does it say waiting for
GPS or waiting for a better signal?
In your system notification bar, the bar above the application title, is there
a gps icon when you press the record button in My Tracks? Does the icon say gps
is available or searching for gps?

I am not sure if the orange warning message is always there when this happens.
I am currently in a building and have bad GPS reception, so I tested this again:
- start GPS (in MyTracks)
- wait until the GPS symbol in the status bar is not blinking any more
- press record button
I see the orange message after a while. So it's entirely possible that the
message was popping up when I already stuffed the phone back in my pocket. I
don't look at it all the time, otherwise I might face plant when running.
However, when I use it for tracking, I am outside, and usually with good GPS
reception.
In the system notification bar, under 'Ongoing'/'My Tracks', I see 'Recording
your track'.
I can test this again when I am outside.

So I tested this outside.
It's very hard to test, because it crashes frequently, and I don't know whether
that is related. Also, the issue does not always look the same.
So once, when I started recording, I did not see the orange message. I looked
at the 'Stats' page while walking, and although it displayed my speed, the
distance remained the same. I recorded for 1:42 minutes while walking, the
distance stayed at 0. Min elevation is the same as max elevation (164.04), and
although the trail was about level, I would expect some noise.
Another time I pressed the record button, and the application seemed to have
crashed (the dialog to send a report popped up), but it was recording a track
anyway, including voice announcements (which surprised me, because actually I
had given up). But that doesn't always work that way, and it records nothing at
all, not even the time. The date then is often set to 12/31/1969 3pm.

I want to confirm whether the problem is with the phone GPS.
When you press the record button
1. Does the GPS symbol in the system status bar turn full?
2. In My Tracks, does the orange message on the map view disappear?
If the above two are true, then you should be able to record your GPS tracks.
When it crashes, can you capture the log.

The symbol does get full, and I don't see the orange message.
I have reset the settings to factory defaults, and the problem seems to happen
a lot less often now, but it recently happened again. I observed that it
displayed the speed but did not increase the distance.
Sorry for not capturing the log _ I will do that next time.

In both logs, the error is:
android.view.ViewRoot$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread
that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.
This has been fixed in 2.0.4.
Thanks for reporting this.
